The interpretation I have, is it's the closest area in which you would engage. For example, while doing observations (picking out threats/targets) danger close is the closest spot an anomaly would be, be it a bootband, a single round etc. Sometimes that would be 5 feet in front of you, or 100 yds out. Out on the range we use it as the nearest spot you would engage in your feild of fire, and when danger close is called out you would engage that area. I'm sure other people/services use it in different contexts but thats how I have interpreted it.
